SOH celebrates its 75th anniversary

It has been a long way from the two-man law firm in a provisionally converted basement in post-war Germany to today‘s full-service law firm with a nationwide reputation and more than 40 lawyers in a modern office complex in the heart of Essen.

In 1950 the German „Wirtschaftswunder“ was a time of new beginnings, not only for Germany´s economy but for SOH and their clients. With an understanding of business and entrepreneurial spirit, Schmidt and Ronkel advised up-and-coming companies and innovative entrepreneurs and over the years the firm grew with its clients, especially in the retail, technology and medical/healthcare sectors.

In medical law in particular, SOH lawyers have left their footprint on the development of this area of law.

SOH developed into a permanent companion and outsourced legal department for a large number of its clients, with whom the firm can proudly look back on many decades of reliable co-operation.

Today SOH´s clients include start-ups, traditional owner-managed companies as well as national and international companies and corporate groups. However the firm has never lost its close connection to its roots in advising mid-sized and family businesses.

The firm´s over 40 highly specialised lawyers advise in labour law, corporate, (public and private) property and IT law, trade mark and competition law as well as contract drafting and litigation in general.
